Google’s HD Chromecast will most likely look rather a lot just like the 4K one

It appears more and more probably that Google’s going to be saying a price range Chromecast at its {hardware} occasion on October sixth, and Brazilian web site Tecnoblog has posted purported pictures of the device, which the publication says confirmed up in paperwork from the National Telecommunications Agency. The system seems to be just about an identical to the white mannequin of Google’s present Chromecast with Google TV, however leaks from earlier this week counsel it’ll solely be capable to stream in 1080p as a substitute of 4K and that it’ll be round 40 p.c cheaper than the present mannequin (which is often $50 however is currently on sale in the US for $40).

The photographs posted by Tecnoblog present the system with a label saying “Model G454V.” That’s the identical identify that confirmed up in an FCC submitting earlier this summer time, which described a tool that linked on to a TV, was managed by a distant, and will make the most of each Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. In different phrases, it described a Chromecast.

This new leak doesn’t give us any concept of what the internals of the system might be like, however hopefully Google’s paid some consideration to creating it a bit extra highly effective than the present Chromecast with Google TV. That could appear counterintuitive for a price range system, however the firm not too long ago admitted that its present streaming puck hasn’t been significantly quick or responsive and that managing its restricted cupboard space could be a ache. It’d be a disgrace if it launched a brand new system with those self same points.

When Google introduced its {hardware} occasion for early subsequent month, it stated it’d be displaying off the Pixel 7, Pixel 7 Pro, Pixel Watch, and “additions to the Nest smart home portfolio.” While a brand new Chromecast is absent from that listing, it does appear probably that we’ll see it then, on condition that the system is on the stage the place it’s being photographed and permitted by regulators.
